Be Ready – Year 6 start their Mayan topic
Tue 16 Sep 2025It was great to see the year 6 children enjoying their hook for their topic on the Mayans. We try to start each until with something that will engage and capture the children’s imagination and make them want to learn more about the subject. The children in year 6 were learning how to play Pok-a-Tok. They were given a set of rules and had to create the game themselves albeit a little less gruesome than the game was in Mayan times.

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Tue 16 Sep 2025In our assembly this week, we discussed with the children what the protected characteristics are. We talked through why they are important and how they ensure discrimination does not happen. This week, we focused on the protected characteristic of race. We discussed some important moments in history when these rights were not protected and thought about the impact on the people at the time. We discussed how we would feel in that moment. We then asked the children tot think about what this would look like at school and how someone could discriminate against someone due to race. The children were really good at identifying what this might look like and how a child would feel in that moment. A really powerful assembly and one that sparked a lot of discussion. My favourite quote was from a child in year 5 who said, “We should just all treat each other the way we want to be treated no matter what someone might look like.” A really insightful comment.

Be Kind – changes to our behaviour policy
Fri 12 Sep 2025We have rewritten our behaviour policy to further enhance the positive strategies teachers are employing. The new policy will be available on the school website next week. The missed play system has changed and will now be called reflection time. This will continue to be done at break or lunch play and will sharply focus on restorative practice and ensuring children have time to reflect on their behaviour choices and try to ensure that behaviour is not repeated. The house that collects the most Dragon’s Gold will continue to have a half-termly reward and we are thankful that the LBSA have said they will continue to fund this.
We will also be sending more ‘Above and Beyond Awards’ out this year. These are delivered in the post and should reflect children who have shown exceptional effort or shown selfless actions to help others. Staff also have some post cards to drop in the children’s bags who have really impressed them with a piece of work or something they have done at school. These are in addition to the weekly certificates
